THE STORY

The category sells in code, and the platforms punish plain language. Bodyform had something rarer than a message that tests well: a truth its category avoids.

THE CAMPAIGN

FORTY BANNED
WORDS.

Forty words about women’s health the platforms would ban you for using, one for each of Bodyform’s forty years. We said them out loud, then made the country talk about the fact we weren’t allowed to.
